New life in surprising places.

Having the privilege of a beautiful garden and one backing onto fields at that,

  the Vicarage is a great place for bird-watching. We’ve had all sorts, from

 woodpeckers, chaffinches, goldfinches and wrens. With your hands in the kitchen

sink, it’s possible to see the beauties of many different varieties foraging for  worms and other tit-bits. To entice the birds to keep coming, we have a good

range of bird feeders, and nesting boxes in strategic places in the trees and

bushes around the garden. Over the last few years, we have spotted a number of 

birds using the nesting boxes – it’s always a thrill to see an adult bird popping in

and out with a worm to feed the chicks, and later, to hear the chatter of fledgling

birds just about to explore the big wide world for the first time. We have learnt to

keep an eye open at each of the carefully positioned boxes ready for the first signs

of new life around this time of year.

e never thought that the new life would emerge from the watering-can hung

on the back of the garage! We were so busy watching the nesting boxes,

bemoaning the lack of obvious activity, that we missed the two robins popping in

and out of the watering-can with worms for their youngsters, just a few feet 

outside our kitchen window. What a thrill to discover that there was new life in

 the garden – just in the places we didn’t expect! In placing nesting boxes around

 the garden, we had sought to control where nests would be built and where new

life would emerge. It just hadn’t worked – because new life is precisely that – new

and with a life of its own.

e live in a culture in which we suppose we can control much of life – but in

fact control often eludes us. New life springs up in the most surprising places, and

if we only look in the places we have prepared in readiness for it, we will miss it.

Surely the Easter message suggests as much. Who would have thought to find

new life in a tomb, of all places?

hat of our own lives? Where are the signs of new life for us? Where do we feel

more hopeful, more inspired, more energized, with a new sense of direction or 

purpose? There’s a lot more than pregnancy that creates new life in humans!

Maybe if we struggle to identify any signs of that new life, it’s because we might 

 just be looking in the expected, and predictable places rather in those surprising

places where we would not expect new life to be found. Often it is the dark and

painful parts of our lives where something surprising in its newness can germ-inate and grow – the experiences we had written off as negative or pointless.

So look around you – where are the ‘watering-cans’ in your life? Keep your eyes

peeled – you might be surprised to find God at work in some very unexpected

areas of your life.

May God bless you in this Easter season – a time when we remember the six

 weeks or so during which the risen Jesus appeared to his disciples – in unex-

pected ways. May our eyes also be opened to recognise his presence with us.

St. Mary’s reaches the national press!

Not having much time to read newspapers, I rarely buy them. It is other people

 who will say, “I saw you in the local rag last week!”. What it more surprising is when my picture appears in the national press!

ou may have seen in the local papers that a good number of the Yorkshire stone

flags from the ‘ABC steps’ (so called because there were once 26 and children

 would recite their alphabet as walking them), which lead from the Church to

Church Lane, have been stolen. As the steps are also locally known as the Church

Steps it tends to be assumed these belong to the church, though this is not in fact 

 the case. Though this is actually nothing directly to do with the church, it foundits way into the Church Times, a national Church of England newspaper.

But there have been a spate of thefts from the church over the last few months

– a security barrier, first put up to stop unauthorised vehicular access to the rear 

of the church, where half of a Yorkshire stone path had been stolen, was removed

in broad daylight. The lightening conductor has been stolen- twice. We have lost 

count of the number of times lead flashing has been removed from the church

porch. Even the stumps of railings left in the kerbs of Victorian graves have beengouged out and removed.

e are not the only church falling victim to such mindless criminality, but it is an

ongoing problem. If you see anything suspicious, please call at the Vicarage to

report it or ring the police directly. In a church where we are doing everything we

can to make the church a genuine community space, each incident of this sort 

makes our life more challenging, and increases our already hefty insurance

premiums.hank you!

Pentecost Praise at St. Mary’s.

 As summer approaches, I have learnt to expect many folk arriving for services to

say, “It’s such beautiful weather, we should have the service outside!” The idea is

indeed a lovely one, and one leaders of the local churches discussed in some

depth in planning a Pentecost Praise service for to beheld here at St. Mary’s. Then the practicalities took over. Not just the unpredicta-

bility of the weather, but the problems with the lack of an adequate sound-system,

especially so close to the noise of the dual carriageway. It would be such a shame

if those dependent on the hearing loop were not fully included, wouldn’t it?

 A compromise was struck. Why not hold the service in church, perhaps leaving

as we sing the closing hymn to make our way to the Vicarage garden for a shared

faith supper? It is, after all, the birthday of the church and a party would be afitting celebration of our shared life as Christians in this community. Why not 

come and join us? Bring a plate of finger food – sausage rolls, scones, sandwich-

es, buns etc. Tea and coffee and soft drinks will be provided. Put the date in your 

diary! And if the weather does turn inclement, we British are great at finding ways

 to make sure the party continues unabated, aren’t we?!

Redevelopment – where are we?

Remember the British Rail slogan ‘We’re getting there’? And how everyone ridi-

culed the speed at which they were ‘getting there’? Sometimes it feels like that as we press on towards the redevelopment at the back of the church. But I’mlearning it’s all a matter of perspective! Some people feel that the progress is far 

 too slow – especially those who now find it difficult – if not impossible- to at- tend church because we don’t yet have toilet facilities. For others, it feels verydifferent – as if we’re rushing into this too rapidly! After all, we’ve managed

 without such facilities as toilets, kitchen and the rest for around 1000 years inSt. Mary’s – what’s the hurry? Furthermore, there are some who find the plans

far too radical, others who would do something more adventurous and far-reaching. So wherever you happen to be on that spectrum of opinion, bear inmind others don’t see things the same way.

hat is clear is that we have what has been called a ‘window of opportunity’

 with a good sum ring-fenced towards the redevelopment. So we feel the need to

press on steadily before our running costs start eating into this funding.

Following the consultation meetings last September, it was clear to the PCC that 

 the plans were, in the main, supported, though there were concerns about the

possibility of incorporating a screen into the building to separate worship space

from social and community space; and about the positioning of the font. The

PCC have taken these reflections seriously. Since then they have taken the op-

portunity to visit 3 churches in order to help inform our decision-making proc-

ess, and have looked at a range of pros and cons for the screen.

Recognising the ongoing concerns, but with a wish to explore this further, the

architect has been asked to move from the first stage, of initial drawings, to a

fuller, more detailed design plan, full specifications and the securing of tenders,

 together with applying for faculty permission from the Diocese for these propos-

als. We, in the meantime, will be doing what we can to explore grant funding,

 which, if we are creating community space, we are hopeful will be forthcoming.

Once we have this more detailed information available to us, and full costing's in

place, we will display what we can, as we did in the first stage, and will call a

further public consultation meeting to answer questions, take soundings and

clarify details. Only once all this has happened will the PCC make final decisions,as you have elected them to do. We intend to keep everyone fully informed and

‘in the loop’. Please ask if you wish for further information.

e are ‘getting there’. Honestly. It takes time in the Church of England because

of the Faculty and legal processes. Frustrating as these sometimes seem, they

are not a handicap – they are our safeguard from doing anything not deemed

 to be ‘in keeping’ with a historic, but living, place of community worship. Both

aspects deserve recognition – as a building the integrity of the buildingneeds to be preserved. As a place of community worship it needs to adapt 

 to the changing needs of the community it serves. The two aspects are in ten-

sion with each other – may God give us grace to walk the narrow path of bal-

ance between them.

 What the Bible says about givinghe Bible has a great deal to say about money, our attitude to it and what we

do with it.

2 Corinthians 9:7-8

(NRSV)

God has shown his great love for sinful and unworthy people like us in the life,

death and resurrection of the Lord Jesus Christ. Having received such unde-served generosity we should be motivated to give generously in response. Weare to be like God - not reluctant givers, but wanting to give generously from all

 that he has given us.

God wants us to be generous – not just with our money but with our time, ener-

gy, skills, homes and possessions. If we have received God’s abundant grace

 then we all have something to give. Sometimes these other things are harder togive than money.

he apostle Paul encourages the Corinthian Christians to give generously to a

collection for other Christians in great poverty. God’s priorities are that his peo-

ple should come first in our giving: those who teach the word of God (1 Tim

5:17), those in need in our church (James 1:27, 1 Tim 5:8) and those in need in

other churches (2 Cor 8-9). The needs are therefore both the local work of theparish and further a field in the wider church.

 Abundantly

he apostle Paul stresses the abundant nature of God’s giving towards us so that we may give abundantly in response.

he Old Testament commanded a tithe (10% of income). The New Testament is

far more radical: we are to be generous givers of all we have. Some will give far 

more than 10% of their income, others less.

e need to think carefully about what we have been given, what our responsi-

bilities are and how we can give money in the most effective way.

It’s easy to give for the wrong reasons - to relieve our guilt, to avoid other ave-

nues of Christian service, to be seen to be generous by others. The apostle Paul

 tells us that God loves a joyful and big-hearted response to all that he has lav-

ished on us.

Race For Lifehe Guides and Rangers have recently found out that our unit helper, Anne, is

diagnosed with Myeloma, a form of cancer in the blood and bones. She is doing

 well and fighting this awful disease but while she is receiving treatment she isnot able to attend Guides and we all miss her loads. We would like to wish her a speedy recovery and hope she comes back to us very soon.

ithout the treatment pioneered by Cancer Research UK Anne might not bedoing so well. As a thank you to the charity we intend to complete the ‘Race for Life’ in Temple Newsam, Leeds on 26 th June in Anne’s name. We are hoping that 

 Anne will be at the finish line to meet us and then we are hoping to get together for a big celebratory picnic (weather permitting). If any of the female members

of the church family would like to join us in our 5km walk (either in Anne’s nameor with someone else in mind) they are most welcome. We are hoping to takea large group of children so any adults willing to support us and participate

 would be very helpful.If you are interested please contact Vikki on 07841513530.hank you.
